Two days after his statement on the Kabul attack upset New Delhi, Richard Holbrooke, special envoy of US on Afghanistan and Pakistan, on Friday regretted any ?misunderstanding? caused by his comments that Indians were not target of the terror strike. ?I regret any misunderstanding caused by my comments on the recent terrorist attack in Kabul, which claimed the lives of six Indians and at least ten citizens of other nations.? ?I did not say Indians were not the target, but that initially it looked like the target was not an official Indian facility. Early reports on events like this are often unreliable, and I try not to jump to conclusions,? Holbrooke said in a statement. Reacting to the comments by the special envoy, official sources said they were surprised in light of the fact that the Afghan government has clearly stated that attack was against Indians.
